The instant success of the track earned them an Academy Award nomination for “Best Original Song” at the 2005 Academy Awards\, a Golden Globe nomination for “Best Original Song” and a GRAMMY Award nomination for “Best Song Written for a Motion Picture\, Television or Other Visual Media.” \n\n\n\nIn 2021\, Counting Crows ranked #8 on Billboards’ “Greatest of All-Time: Adult Alternative Artists” 25th anniversary chart. \n\n\n\nStatement from Jim Nagy—Reese’s Senior Bowl Executive Director \n\n\n\n“We’re fired up to be getting Counting Crows to play our Senior Bowl concert.
